You Can’t Expect to Get Back to Normal
Come see this summer group show at Las Cienegas Projects featuring Erik Bluhm, Jim Shaw, Caroline Thomas, and Scott Marvel Cassidy.
"The main pretense in assembling this exhibition of these three artists and myself, was the defining similarity, inspiration and differences to my own work. Optimistically, this grouping will inspire further investigation between the borders of collage, metaphor and the current social-political climate. The works in this exhibition utilize imagery from popular culture, documenting psychological and aesthetic developments personal and familial."
“This group of paintings is a hypothesis of pictorial content loosely based upon William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin's "cut-up" methodology. This permits the mixing of such content as conceptual, emblematic and formal. The resulting synthesis, whether selected intentionally or by chance, can be self sufficient, function as supplementary or drive the narrative of these works.”
